* SomeoneToRememberHimBy: When Ekoria lost her husband, she was simply counting down the days to her own quickening until she realized she was pregnant. Her determination to survive long enough to give birth is what drives her to seek Julian's help.

* KickTheDog: Simply because the people of this planet resisted the Dominion 200 years ago, the Jem'Hadar [[MakeAnExampleOfThem made an example of them,]] by infecting them with a "blight" which they are born with and which "quickens" itself randomly in a person's life, creating red lesions when it becomes active, and killing them shortly after in particularly painful fashion. That'd be bad enough, but it turns out the electromagnetic fields from medical instruments (as Bashir learns the hard way) ''amplifies'' the virus, and causes it to mutate. These people must've really, ''really'' pissed off the Dominion.

* BreakTheHaughty: Bashir goes down to the planet expecting to have the blight fully cured in just a few days. Boy, is he wrong. By the end of the episode when the first baby born free of the blight is presented to the populace, Bashir wants nothing to do with the celebration and prefers to stand off to the side. Later, when Sisko is offering his congratulations, Bashir sharply retorts that he doesn't deserve any.

* NoodleIncident: The Dominion is known for conquering and destroying civilisations that go out of line, but to resort to this kind of genocide means that the Teplans must have done something to force the Dominion to react in this manner.

* RealitySubtext: Ira Steven Behr conceived of the episode as an AIDS metaphor, inspired partly by the recent death of a co-worker from AIDS. Most of the AIDS connotations were lost in revision, however.

As soon as hard evidence surfaces that the vaccine works, Travean drops his arguments about euthanasia and helps Bashir distribute the vaccine.
